Trending on the Farm: Brooks Baldwin, DJ Gladney propel the Dash in sweep

Colson Montgomery

Colson Montgomery missed the first two games due to an illness, but once he returned he was back to typical Colson things. Montgomery reached base safely at least once in every game this series and had a big performance on Saturday night by going 3-5 with two extra base hits (double, triple). Fun fact, Colson didn’t get hit by any pitches last week!

JONATHAN CANNON

Jonathan Cannon’s strong August continued, as he generated six ground outs to just one flyout in this outing. In three August starts, the 23 year old has thrown 15 innings, allowed 12 hits, four runs (four earned), struck out 13 to just one walk.

Cristian Mena

In addition to Cannon, Cristian Mena is also having a very strong August. In three starts, the 20 year old righty has pitched 18.2 innings, allowed 15 hits, six runs (six earned), six walks, and struck out 20. Mena also leads the Barons in innings pitched with 108.

PEYTON PALLETTE

It was a weird but effective start for Peyton Pallette. It began with striking out the first two batters, walking the next, then a strike out looking. An 8-2 double play made the second inning interesting, but the third was uneventful outside of a walk. A single, walk, force-out, and another walk saw Pallette leave after three and two thirds, but the runners were left stranded.

Norge Vera

Norge Vera started and pitched in two innings in his final ACL tune-up before being promoted back to Winston-Salem on August 21.

Noah Schultz

Noah Schultz was scratched from his start on Sunday and placed on the 7-day IL with a shoulder impingement. While it may end his season with Kannapolis (only three weeks left in the season), the injury isn’t considered to be a long-term issue.

José Rodríguez

It was a week to forget for José Rodríguez at the dish. Popeye couldn’t generate much offense against Chattanooga pitchers while striking out seven times, although he went 3-for-3 on stolen bases.

Lenyn Sosa

Lenyn Sosa played two games with the Knights before being recalled by the White Sox on August 18.

Bryan Ramos

Bryan Ramos had a successful week at the plate, although the power quieted down from the previous week, as all seven of his hits were singles.

Adam Haseley & Xavier Fernández

Adam Haseley had a fantastic week for the Knights. Haseley slashed .500/.545/.650 for a 1.195 OPS, hit one home run and drove in five.

Xavier Fernández was another Knight to swing a hot bat, ending the week with a 1.144 OPS across 15 at-bats.

Yolbert Sánchez & Sammy Peralta

Yolbert Sánchez also had a strong week offensively against the Nashville Sounds. Sánchez had four extra base hits (two doubles, triple, home run) and seven driven in for a .985 OPS across six games.

Sammy Peralta was great in both of his appearances last week for the Knights. The 25 year old southpaw pitched five and two thirds innings, didn’t allow a hit, run, or walk, and struck out five.

Edgar Quero

Edgar Quero had another strong week at the plate for the Barons, hitting both his first and second home runs as a member of the Barons. Quero played four games and slashed .333/.421/.733 with a 1.154 OPS.

Tim Elko

Tim Elko smashed his first AA home runs, knocking out two last week en route to a 1.025 OPS in six games.

WILFRED VERAS

20 year old Wilfred Veras also had a solid week for the Barons, knocking five extra base hits (four doubles, home run) for a .913 OPS. Veras was also successful on his only stolen base attempt.

Nick Nastrini

23 year old Nick Nastrini was outstanding against the Lookouts. It was his best start since joining the organization, as Nastrini has now struck out 24 batters over 16.1 innings pitched for Birmingham.

DJ Gladney

DJ Gladney was routinely sending baseballs into orbit against Greenville pitchers last week. The 22 year old outfielder smashed four home runs, drove in nine, and had a 1.291 OPS in five games.

Brooks Baldwin

23 year old infielder Brooks Baldwin was simply outstanding for the Dash last week. Baldwin batted .524/.583/.857 for a 1.440 OPS, had three extra base hits (double, two home runs), drove in six, and was 4-for-4 in stolen bases.

Michael Turner & Shawn Goosenberg

Recently turned 25 year old catcher Michael Turner (happy belated birthday!) was back to being an on-base machine, rocking a .611 OBP last week in four games played. Turner ended the week with a 1.380 OPS with a double and a home run.

23 year old infielder Shawn Goosenberg was another member of the Dash offense that was on fire. Goosenberg had three extra base hits (two doubles, home run) and had a .522/.593/.739 slash line for a 1.332 OPS.

Loidel Chapelli

Loidel Chapelli was the final member of the Dash offense that was obliterating baseballs last week. Chapelli knocked four extra base hits (two doubles, two triples) en route to a 1.180 OPS. Chapelli also went 3-for-4 on stolen bases.

Connor McCullough

23 year old right hander Connor McCullough was marvelous against Greenville last week. It was McCullough’s best start as a member of the Dash and his first scoreless outing since his start on July 8.

Jhoneiker Betancourt & Mario Camilletti

23 year old Jhoneiker Betancourt had another strong series, this time against Carolina. Betancourt had two extra base hits (double, home run) and a 1.163 OPS in 13 at-bats across four games.

24 year old second baseman Mario Camilletti was an on-base machine for the Ballers last week. Camilletti walked six times en route to a .483 OBP, three doubles, eight RBI, and a .983 OPS for the week.

Chris Lanzilli

Jacob Gonzalez

2023 first round selection Jacob Gonzalez had his best week as a member of the Cannon Ballers. Gonzalez slashed .333/.391/.524 for a .915 OPS with two extra base hits (double, home run) and three RBI. The home run was the first as a professional for the young shortstop.

Aldrin Batista

20 year old right hander Aldrin Batista pitched well in his start against the Carolina Mudcats. Batista threw five scoreless innings, allowing three hits, two walks, and struck out four.

Manuel Veloz

22 year old righty pitched well in his relief appearance for the Ballers. In somewhat of a strange looking line, Veloz pitched four and a third innings without allowing a hit or run, didn’t record a strikeout, but walked two batters.

Edrick Felix & Carlos Jiménez

Edrick Felix had another nice week for the ACL White Sox, homering one and driving in three while appearing in three games.

21 year old Carlos Jiménez also had a nice week, hitting one home run, drove in three, and went 2-for-2 on stolen bases in two games.

Javier Mora

20 year old infielder Javier Mora was another member of the ACL White Sox offense to stand out last week. Mora doubled, had five total hits in three games, and a 1.215 OPS.

George Wolkow

17 year old 2023 seventh round pick George Wolkow had a very good week with the ACL White Sox. Appearing in four games, Wolkow ended the week with a 1.163 OPS, homered once, drove in two runs, walked more (six) than he struck out (five), and went 1-for-1 on stolen bases.

Seth Keener

2023 third round pick Seth Keener was rather effective in his lone appearance of the week. The 21 year old has only allowed one run and struck out seven across four appearances (six innings) with the ACL White Sox.

Christian Oppor

2023 fifth round pick Christian Oppor was fantastic in his lone appearance of the week with the ACL White Sox. The 19 year old southpaw worked two scoreless innings, allowing no baserunners and striking out two.

Jake Peppers

2023 ninth round selection Jake Peppers made two starts for the ACL White Sox last week. The 21 year old righty threw four innings, allowed two hits, one run (earned), one walk, and struck out six.

Javier Mogollon

Javier Mogollon has been a fixture on this list as of late. The 17 year old infielder slashed .368/.478/.895 for a 1.373 OPS in five games (19 at-bats) last week for the DSL White Sox. Of his seven total hits, five went for extra bases (two doubles, triple, two home runs) while also driving in six runs. Mogollon also scored five runs and was successful on his only stolen base attempt last week. For the season, the Venezuelan native is up to a .967 OPS with eight home runs in 45 games (159 at-bats).

Abraham Nunez

17 year old outfielder Abraham Nunez was the other stand out offensive player for the DSL White Sox last week. Nunez had a 1.071 OPS in four games (14 at-bats) with two doubles, four driven in, and was successful on his only stolen base attempt.

Ricardo Gomez & Denny Lima

18 year old right hander Ricardo Gomez pitched well in his lone appearance last week. Gomez pitched three scoreless innings, allowing just two hits with two strikeouts.
